No. of bitstreams: 1 CELSO PACHECO JUNIOR.pdf: 594461 bytes, checksum: be1aa3980879a1fc016130e47a9bfc66 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2009-12-18 / The present work aims to make both a political and ideological analysis of Brazilian society during Military Dictatorship and has the musical work of Tonico and Tinoco as its source. As I listened to the songs from the Dupla Coração do Brasil , I realized that some of them saw the theme progress differently from that seen by other country songs. They presented it as a non-structuring element of country society, whereas Tonico and Tinoco s songs consider progress to be positive for national development. Having that as evidence, we start from the hypothesis that the songs had elements from the ideology of the Military Government, which was established in Brazil as of the civil-military strike of 1964. Also, the songs contributed to consolidate the military ideology and make it known, based on progress, integration of the nation, and country security discourse. The work is theoretically supported on Cultural History, which makes it possible to use music as a historical source. The work also comprises discussion on the origins of the concept progress. Furthermore, it shows the manheimeana s view on ideology. Then, it presents the ideology of the military government and the utopy of the left party, having the engaged artistic Left movements and their relations to cultural industry and its means of communication, specifically the radio, as scenery. Next, this work points out Tonico and Tinoco s life and work. Finally, it brings analyses of songs of the mentioned duo as its final considerations. / Este trabalho faz uma análise política e ideológica da sociedade brasileira durante a ditadura militar, tendo como fonte a obra musical de Tonico e Tinoco. Ao ouvir as canções da Dupla Coração do Brasil percebia que algumas tratavam do tema progresso de forma diferente de outras canções sertanejas, que o apresentava como elemento desestruturante da sociedade caipira, enquanto, que as canções de Tonico e Tinoco apresentavam o progresso como algo positivo para o desenvolvimento nacional. Constatando isso, parte-se da hipótese que as canções continham elementos da ideologia do governo militar que se instalou no Brasil a partir do golpe civil-militar de 1964. E que as canções ajudaram na divulgação e consolidação de ideologia militar pautada no discurso do progresso, da integração da nação e da segurança do país. O trabalho apoiou-se teoricamente na História Cultural que possibilitou utilizar a música como fonte histórica. O trabalho contempla também uma discussão sobre as origens do conceito progresso. Além disto, apresenta a visão mannheimeana de ideologia. A partir daí apresenta a ideologia do governo militar e a utopia da esquerda, tendo como pano de fundo, os movimentos de artistas de esquerda engajados e suas relações com a indústria cultural, seus veículos de comunicação em especial, o rádio. Por fim, o trabalho traz Tonico e Tinoco em suas vidas e obra. E termina, com as análises das canções da dupla, apresentando as considerações finais.

Perhaps no melody in the country music canon has been as widely recognized and borrowed from as that of the song “The Great Speckled Bird.” This significant song has become resonant and representative of both country music culture and religious culture of the Protestant South. Through this historiographical study, I have traced the influences that helped shape “The Great Speckled Bird” and in so doing have illustrated distinct movements that led to popularizing the non-secular song through commercial country music. The composer’s use of sentimentality, neo- traditionalism, and religious ideas made it appealing to a rural southern culture struggling with the social, racial, and economic changes of the early twentieth century. As I develop and explore the diverse influences that helped to shape “The Great Speckled Bird,” I will illustrate the interconnectedness of country music culture and the wider popular and religious cultures of the white Protestant South.

Country music, considered a uniquely American musical genre, has been relatively under-researched compared to rock and rap music. This thesis proposes research into the topic of country music, specifically the ways which country music songs portray gender. The thesis uses Billboard chart data to determine commercially successful songs, and performs a content analysis on the lyrics of these songs. I will select songs from a fifty year period ranging from 1955 to 2005, so as to allow for a longitudinal study of potential changes in presentation. Attention will be focused on the lyrical descriptions of men and women and how their roles are described in the songs.

During the 1980s, women in country music enjoyed unprecedented success in record sales, television, film, and on pop and country charts. For female performers, many of their achievements were due to their abilities to mold their images to mirror American norms and values, namely increasing political conservatism, the backlashes against feminism and the civil rights movement, celebrations of working and middle class life, and the rise of the South. This dissertation divides the 1980s into three distinct periods and then discusses the changing uses of gender, race, class, and region in female country music and links each to larger historical themes. It concludes that political and social conservatism influenced women’s country performances and personas. In this way, female country music is a social text that can be used to examine 1980s America.
